These are no ordinary superheroes, nor are they ordinary dogs — they’re both! Illustrator Josh Lynch has created the series DOTMU: Dogs of the Marvel Universe on his Bēhance portfolio, and we can’t get enough.

Some of the amazing canines include a Thor golden retriever, a pug Captain America, a bulldog Hulk, and a chihuahua Iron Man.

These stunning and unique long-exposure shots were captured by artist, Joseph Michael. Believe it or not, they are of glowworms native to a 30 million-year-old cave on North Island in New Zealand. The images make the caves look like an ethereal, alternate universe that we can’t stop admiring!

Anything from company logos like McDonald’s, Ikea, and Adidas, to volcanoes, lighthouses, and random patterns like camouflage and polka-dot, can be found on the shells. He even went so far as to attach little hats, crowns, or on/off switches to some of his “pieces.”
